Lookin' out my window, lookin' down the road
I would like to go far away, away from this place
I wanna see the world before I die
Before too many years go by
I've got to go, before I get too old, so
I'm going away and I'm leaving today
And I won't be back for while
I'm gettin' on a train, a bus, or a plane
I'm gonna leave this place in style
But before I go I just want you to know
That although it hasn't been very long
We'll meet again together my friend
And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song
Yeah we'll laugh and we'll sing this song
Friends will leave you, and they will say farewell
And you can never tell just why they go, you don't know, you don't know
I want life's music to softly hit my ears
You know I've been waiting for years
To take the chance and to dance with the wind, so
CHORUS
Cause I can't be tied down, sittin' in a one horse town
I've got to know who I am
I pray for you all the time you'll always be on my mind
And I hope you'll understand
CHORUS
